[QUOTE="hemiford, post: 1272857, member: 72104"] It absolutely will make a difference. But, the difference is highly likely to vary from small to immeasurably small. The physics is indeed very simple as has been covered. Bullet has mass & velocity. (M)(V squared) is it's kinetic energy, but MV is it's momentum, and momentum is a vector quantity, not energy. The "equal and opposite reaction" is due to momentum. It is inescapable. [/QUOTE]
